Allright, to the internet for medical advice.
this is me. I felt the “pop.”
Yup. Second or third degree. I’m in “moderate to severe pain” and I can gimp around without falling to the floor screaming. I’m calling it a “severe second degree outer sprain.”
Unh hunh… we’re sending a theme here. “A sprained ankle can be very painful.” Thanks.
Looks like one to two days of “RICE” (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) with no load bearing, followed by a week or two of gradual rehab.
My abs and arms are already pleading with me not to do the obvious in terms of maintaining my general fitness regimen while staying of my legs. Oh yes, we have a pull-up bar. Oh yes…dammit.
